Hmmmm...this whole thread sparks a lot of thought for me...and some of my thoughts are still mulling around too much for me to articulate them.

I guess one thing that is really bothering me is that even though someone may have great kennel facilities/help or whatever...and in their minds are properly supporting their quantity of dogs - I'm just not comfortable with what I see as a 'volume breeder' - whether it be an Exhibitor, a Mill, or a good breeder who doesn't show.

So, not only was my initial shock driven by my confusion over an Exhibitor being a volume breeder (as I see it), but also by the sheer volume itself....whether or not they were a show breeder.

I prefer pups to be raised in the home. That just feels right to me.
